Nicholas D'Amico, MD

Where are you from?

Columbus, Ohio

What are your personal interests/hobbies?

Road and mountain biking, snowboarding, playing guitar, hiking with my dog, pick-up basketball/volleyball/soccer.

What are your professional interests?

As a former USAF flight surgeon, Aerospace Medicine remains near and dear to my heart, and I hope to find ways to stay engaged in that community. Sports Med and EMS too.

Why did you choose UA EM?

Both the faculty and senior residents are dedicated to your education while fostering an inclusive community and resident wellness. UA is a well-known and established program with alumni in every field and location allowing for numerous professional opportunities both during and after residency. Being closer to family doesn't hurt either.

Favorite activity in Tucson, or what attracted you to Tucson besides the residency program?

The variety of outdoor activities and amazing geography. You can road and mountain bike year round while still having a place to go snowboard in the winter right in your backyard!

What are your non-medical goals during residency?

To get back into racing triathlons more consistently and to improve my Spanish. I'm hoping this desert weather will help get my butt back in shape by 3rd year for Ironman Arizona!
